Every child deserves a safe community to thrive within. Lets work together to end the cycle of violence and create a future where children feel safe and empowered.

Michigan Public Health and University of Michigan Institute for Firearm Injury Prevention researchers are working together to better tailor firearm safety approaches and communications to meet the needs of parents with young children.
